The Raven

by Sylvain Reynard

Blurb

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Gabriel Series comes a dark, sensual tale of romance in a city shrouded in mystery…

Raven Wood spends her days at Florence’s Uffizi Gallery restoring fine works of Renaissance art. But an innocent walk home after an evening with friends changes her life forever. When she intervenes in the senseless beating of a homeless man, his attackers turn on her, dragging her into an alley. Raven is only semi-conscious when their assault is interrupted by a cacophony of growls followed by her attacker’s screams. Mercifully, she blacks out, but not before catching a glimpse of a shadowy figure who whispers to her…

Cassita vulneratus.

When Raven awakes, she is inexplicably changed. She returns to the Uffizi, but no one recognizes her and more disturbingly, she discovers that she’s been absent an entire week. With no recollection of the events leading up to her disappearance, Raven also learns that her absence coincides with one of the largest robberies in Uffizi history – the theft of a set of priceless Botticelli illustrations. When the baffled police force identifies her as its prime suspect, Raven is desperate to clear her name. She seeks out one of Florence’s wealthiest and elusive men in an attempt to uncover the truth about her disappearance. Their encounter leads Raven to a dark underworld whose inhabitants kill to keep their secrets…

About the Author

I'm interested in the way literature can help us explore aspects of the human condition - particularly suffering, sex, love, faith, and redemption. My favourite stories are those in which a character takes a journey, either a physical journey to a new and exciting place, or a personal journey in which he or she learns something about himself/herself.

I'm also interested in how aesthetic elements such as art, architecture, and music can be used to tell a story or to illuminate the traits of a particular character. In my writing, I combine all of these elements with the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the transformative power of goodness.

I try to use my platform as an author to raise awareness about the following charities: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation, WorldVision, Alex's Lemonade Stand, and Covenant House. For more information, see my Twitter account.

Rachel Davis will do
anything to get her sister out of a bad relationship with her fiancé. Even if
it involves a few fibs, a little breaking-and-entering, and blackmailing the
fiancé's potential boss, Charles, for his help. So what if the handsome Charles
happens to be a vampire?

Charles Wright has
found the perfect way to trap the man threatening his brother's wife: cozy up
to him, get invited along on the skiing trip, and then search for incriminating
evidence. How much better that audacious but gorgeous Rachel is just as eager
to nail the bastard. As far as he's concerned, there's nothing wrong with a
little blackmail between two consenting adults. Especially when it's time for
Rachel to pay up.

Rachel
continued to skate away from them, going so slowly around the circle that Charles
feared she'd eventually just stop and get stuck. She made it all the way around
the skating rink once before she slipped and landed on her butt.

Without
thought, he left Brent in mid-sentence and skated to her, moving so quickly
that he threw off shaves of ice when he came to a stop.

"I'm
fine," she said grumpily before he could ask.

"I see
that." With a quick tug, he pulled her up from the ground and she slid
immediately against his chest. Her hands settled at his waist, and her breasts
pressed close to him. With her face only inches from his, he could smell her
spicy cinnamon scent. Her shampoo?

Their eyes met
and her breath caught, betraying her interest, even if he hadn’t heard the
sudden kick her pulse gave.

"Sure
you're okay?" he murmured. The hand he'd pulled her up with slid to the
small of her back. Holding her up—stabilizing her—not pressing her against him.
Carefully, he slid her hair out of her eyes with his free hand.

“I'm fine,”
she repeated. But her voice was breathless. Her eyes dropped to his lips, and
for one brief moment, there was no disguising the hunger in her gaze.

A Sons of Kane Novel, Book One

Alice Shepard needs one thing: a date for her sister’s wedding. And
not just any date. A hunk who will make her fiancé rue the day he left her for
her best friend. Her drop-dead gorgeous neighbor fits the bill—even if he is a
bit quirky and never comes out during the day—and Alice has downed just enough
appletinis to ask him. But she makes it quite clear that there will be no funny
business.

Spending a week on a cruise ship full of humans while sleeping close
to his sexy next-door neighbor sounds like a helluva bad idea to vampire Noah
Thorpe. But his friends need time to get him out of a shotgun wedding—a vampire
bonding that will tie his fate to a female vampire he’s never met. And Alice’s
offer comes at just the right time.

CPA-turned-romance-author Tiffany Allee used to battle spreadsheets
in Corporate America, and now concentrates on her characters’ battles to find
love. Raised in small-town Colorado, Tiffany currently lives in Phoenix, AZ, by
way of Chicago and Denver. She is happily married to a secret romantic who
tolerates her crazy mutterings.

She writes about ass-kicking heroines and the strong heroes who love
them. Her work includes the suspense-driven From the Files of the
Otherworlder Enforcement Agency series which revolves around a group
of paranormal cops solving crimes and finding love, and Don’t Bite the
Bridesmaid, a lighthearted paranormal romance (Entangled Publishing).

Tiffany has an MBA in accounting and nearly a decade of experience
in corporate finance. All super useful stuff for a writer who spends far too
much time trying to figure out fun ways to keep her characters apart, and
interesting ways to kill people (for her books—of course!).

Can 24 hours really change your life? Marissa Engles is about
to find out. When she heads to Las Vegas with her sisters and her best friend,
she meets sexy, Thunder from Down Under dancer Chris King and hits the jackpot,
in more ways than one.

A secret magical society, The Numina, is planning to influence big
change in her through her interplay with King. An evil sorcerer is hell bent on
preventing the exchange. A powerful male is watching her from the sidelines,
making his agenda known. And King himself has a dark secret that may prove
Marissa’s undoing. When all these worlds collide in one night, Marissa must
choose the outcome – play it safe and walk away from heartbreak, or ignite a
maelstrom of passion, mystery and transformation based on a one night stand?
Everything hinges on whether she’s willing to leap without looking…

It's Marissa Engles birthday
and she's ready for change - big time. What's she looking for? Sexy, sexy,
sexy, is the first thing that comes to mind. Ever since her parents died eleven
years ago, completely derailing her life course, Marissa Engles has hidden
inside her creativity, using her artistic expression to escape the world. It's
her only island of safety from an upbringing filled with lies and deceit.
What's she looking for? Sexy, sexy, sexy, is the first thing that comes to
mind. Memories of magic and strange, supernatural abilities haunt her.
Yearnings of excitement and passion compel her.

Sexy she wants, sexy she gets. When she meets Daniel Navid, sparks
fly – literally – from her fingers to his. Daniel awakens her psychic,
telepathic abilities, using them to teach her that she's far more than she ever
dreamed. As her powers awaken, she’s slowly swept from her safe world into one
of suspense and terror, dazzling, electrifying light, and unimaginable sensual
pleasures.

With her faithful Doberman by her side, Marissa uses her creative
imagination to restore her skills as a Light Rebel. As her metamorphosis
continues, a world of both horror and breathtaking radiance is revealed to her.
Her ultimate challenge comes through confronting pure evil - the demented
sorcerer known as El Demonio de la Muerte - and through the passionate,
transformation she experiences with Daniel Navid, the most powerful man alive.

In The Beckoning of
Broken Things, the second book in The Beckoning Series, bestselling
author Calinda B explores suspenseful darkness laced with steaming hot passion
and metaphysical discovery as Marissa Engles fights her way to her truth.
Through her terrifying journey, she encounters demons and devils galore as she
navigates the crazy world of Warplandia, a place of shadows and mysteries, and
embraces her new reality as a wealthy woman possessing extraordinary abilities living
in Brazil.

Is Marissa Engles crazy? Or is she a paranormal Light Rebel who can shape form
and manifest things using the electricity buzzing through her veins? Her aunt
and sister think "Crazy." The locked mental facility they've put her
in thinks "Delusional."

She's so drugged up, she can't tell if they're right. She only knows she's got
to get free of the mental hospital. She has to find her missing soul bound
lover, Daniel Navid, who commands the darkest of the dark. Only her new pal,
Rafe Caldwell, another mental patient "inmate" with more than a few
dark secrets of his own, thinks she is what she says she is. And he intends to
find out more - lots more. Together they embark on a journey of suspense,
intrigue, magic and mayhem that takes them into paranormal worlds Marissa could
not have imagined.

Reviewers say: "The steam,
the intrigue, the characters, the innovative powers and how they're cosmically
connected...so much better than most ordinary "powers" that
supernatural beings have in paranormal romance novels."

"...there are some huge plot twists and things that you'd never expect to
have happen do. I had tears at the end!!! Will there be more?"

"Calinda B pulls you right into the believable-fantasy world (which is
hard to do), and doesn't hold back any punches."

Choices, choices…should Marissa Engles choose the Night Numen, her
soul bound deadly lover who walks among demons and commands the darkness, or
the Stealth Numen, the trained assassin who slips between her world and the
Shadowlands? They’re yummy lovers and alpha males, the baddest of the bad. She
shares a potent, psychic, mind to mind connection with the Night Numen. The
Stealth Numen makes her feel like a teenager. So they could just as easily kill
her in a heartbeat? They both love her, right? These are the thoughts that
occupy her waking hours.

Meanwhile, she’s training to go on a deadly, suspense-filled, dangerous
journey in a place where Earth rules don’t apply. She needs to find the three
sisters who forged her sword, and retrieve a piece of her soul. No-one has
lived to tell about. She’s extremely powerful but still hasn’t attained mastery
of her skills. She hopes she’ll be able to pull it together when it
counts.

Just when she thinks she’s made progress, another alpha male drops
into her world, challenging her assumptions about love. Will she make the right
choice? And what about the ruthless sorcerer who wants to thwart her at every
turn? Suspense, mystery, challenges, sizzling encounters and endless opportunities
are ahead when Marissa faces The Beckoning of BadAss Things.
